S100A1 is upregulated in breast cancer cells. (A) The mRNA level of S100A1 in MCF-10A and human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-453 and BT-549) was determined by RT-qPCR. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001, vs. MCF-10A cells. (B and C) In shRNA-FOXD2-AS1-trans-fected MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells, the protein expression of Sl00A1 was detected by western blot analysis. *P<0.05 and ***P<0.001, vs. shRNA-NC. (D and E) Following transfection with pcDNA-FOXD2-AS1, the mRNA level of FOXD2-AS1 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells was detected by RT-qPCR. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001, vs. pcDNA-NC. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 cells were transfected with shRNA-S100A1, and the protein expression and mRNA level of S100A1 in (F and G) MCF-7 and (H and I) MDA-MB-468 cells were determined by western blot analysis and RT-qPCR, respectively. **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001, vs. shRNA-NC. S100A1, S100 calcium binding protein A1.
